Do they realize what they are bidding on???

Wow, bunch of idiots out there.

21 bids. I could understand one person not realizing it's only a die, but it probably takes several people to post 21 bids. I think I need to sell my "vintage" RCBS and Lyman sizing dies. It just won't list that they are 2012-2013 vintage.

I think that there must be fellows out there with ready cash who decide to get into a hobby and dump what they *think* is necessary to be the best "old timey" equipment to be had. The OP referred to is either a neophyte with too much green, a collector who needs this specific sizer, or a couple of idjits who both feel the need to win.

Some folks take their time and buy the good stuff at a decent price when they could afford it. I hear that some fellows do this with old woodworking hand tools. DAMHIKT

Anyone interested in a nice hand plane or twenty?

Looks like a money making opportunity to be capitalized on.
Anyone up for selling the boxes their Star equipment shipped in?

It had to do with the title. It is very misleading. However, the picture only shows a die.

... and the text fully describes it:
BULLET SIZE/LUBE DIE IN .452 INCLUDES: (1) ORIGINAL BOX WITH INSTRUCTIONS (1) .452 DIE, ALSO INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL LEAD SHOT FOR SETTING UP THE DIE. ITEM IS UNUSED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

NOTE! VINTAGE UNUSED ITEM'S WITH ORIGINAL BOX AND INSTRUCTIONS LIKE THESE DON'T COME ALONG TO OFTEN!

I'm in the wrong business!

Nine of the bids are reasonable then just two people got into a bidding war !
These are fun to watch. Free entertainment !

The title looks fine to me !

Wonder how much I could get for my "Vintage" wife????

Speaking of ebay...daughter's two youngest girls had tonsils and adenoids out on Wed. Doing fine, thank you. The boy (youngest @ 4) apparently is a bit jealous of the attention and turned into a misbehaving handful yesterday. Daughter claims she damn near put him up on ebay. I still laugh everytime I think of it. Prolly a good think ebay wasn't available 40 yrs ago!

It had to do with the title. It is very misleading. However, the picture only shows a die.I agree with you. The way they worded their description can make it sound like you are getting the machine. But, if you read and look at the ad you should be able to figure it out.

Just to play along with Hamish, "A tool and his money are soon parted."

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What I think happens with a lot of these type of "sales" and high priced Lee molds etc. is a "shadow" bidder. Out of curiousity I looked over a number of these auctions. The seller had numerous "vintage, rare, special" items sold at very high prices. In most cases I would find the high bidder had purchased something like 26% of all the sales from this particular vendor....seem strange?....smiles.

i'd think in 100% of the cases the high bidder won the auction.
i'm pretty sure that's how it works.

I have some san diego stars and sizers I need a supercharger for the mustang.
anyone wanna trade for a sizer and a size die?
procharger/rousch/Shelby anyone of them will be acceptable.

it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.

the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.

They used the magic word, "vintage". Put vintage in front of a box of tissue, and you'd get $50 for it. Probably get more than that is you used "tactical". LOL

No wonder I don't go anywhere near ebay, geez.
